La'Mical Perine: Joins Packers' practice squad
Perine signed to Green Bay's practice squad Friday.
Perine signed a contract with Pittsburgh in May and rushed 16 times for 46 yards and a touchdown in the preseason, adding one reception for four yards. He was released Tuesday and will now have a chance to earn his way back to the NFL roster with the Packers' practice squad. Perine played in five regular-season games with Kansas City last year, rushing 22 times for 77 yards while catching three of five targets for 33 yards.

La'Mical Perine: Doesn't make roster cut
Perine was released by the Steelers on Tuesday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.
Perine appeared in five regular-season games for the Chiefs in 2023, and he played exclusively on special teams in Kansas City's first three playoff games. After being waived May 17, he caught on with the Steelers six days later to compete for the No. 3 running back job behind Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren (hamstring). Perine wasn't able to show much during his three preseason outings, during which he accrued 16 carries for 46 yards and one touchdown while adding one catch on three targets for four yards. Given his experience on special teams, Perine should be able to catch on with another team -- either on the roster or practice squad -- at some point during the 2024 season.

Steelers' La'Mical Perine: Racks up 10 yards Friday
Perine rushed four times for 10 yards while failing to secure his lone target during Friday's 20-12 preseason loss to the Texans.
Perine signed a one-year contract with the Steelers in May, but he wasn't particularly efficient during Friday's preseason opener. It's unclear whether he'll be able to land a spot on the team's 53-man roster this year, but even if he's included on the active roster, he's unlikely to see much regular-season work since the Steelers also have Najee Harris, Jaylen Warren and Cordarrelle Patterson.

Steelers' La'Mical Perine: Inks deal with Pittsburgh
Perine and the Steelers agreed on a one-year contract Thursday.
Perine was waived by Kansas City this past Friday and it took less than a week for him to find a new home in Pittsburgh. The running back compiled 77 rushing yards on 22 carries while also recording three catches for 33 yards over five games with Kansas City in 2023. He'll be in line to operate as a depth option for the Steelers behind Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren if he secures an active roster spot in 2024.

La'Mical Perine: Waived by KC
Perine was waived by the Chiefs on Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Kansas City is parting ways with Perine after he rushed for 77 yards on 22 carries while adding three catches for 33 yards in 2023. The 2020 fourth-round draft pick of the Jets spent his first two seasons in New York. Perine will look to latch on with another team prior to training camp.

Chiefs' La'Mical Perine: Gets chance to lead backfield
Perine rushed the ball 21 times for 76 yards in Sunday's 13-12 win over the Chargers. He added three receptions on four targets for 33 yards.
Perine got the chance to lead the Kansas City backfield with Isiah Pacheco rested and Clyde Edwards-Helaire used sparingly. He delivered a solid performance, with his longest play of the day going for 25 yards on a reception early in the third quarter. This marked Perine's fifth appearance of the season, though he has played primarily on special teams. If he's active during the Chiefs' postseason run, his role is likely to remain similar.

Chiefs' La'Mical Perine: Signed to KC's active roster
The Chiefs signed Perine to their 53-man roster Sunday.
The move comes with Jerick McKinnon being placed on the Chiefs' injured reserve list with a groin injury. Perine joined the team's practice squad Aug. 30 and has been elevated by the team twice this year. He'll take over as the RB3 in the Chiefs' backfield behind Isiah Pacheco and Clyde Edwards-Helaire.

La'Mical Perine: Back to practice squad
Perine reverted to the Chiefs' practice squad Monday.
Perine saw time on both offense and defense during Kansas City's win over the Raiders on Sunday but failed to record any stats. Though two games played this season, the 25-year-old has carried the ball just once for a one-yard gain and failed to bring in his only target.

Chiefs' La'Mical Perine: Promoted from practice squad
The Chiefs elevated Perine to the active roster Saturday.
The move comes with Jerick McKinnon ruled out for Sunday's game against the Raiders with a groin injury. This will be the third time that Perine has been called up from the practice squad this season. In his last outing in Week 9 against the Dolphins, Perine played eight snaps (four each on offense and special teams) and gained one yard on one carry.

La'Mical Perine: Reverts to practice squad
The Chiefs reverted Perine to their practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Perine was elevated for the second time this season ahead of Sunday's Week 9 win over Miami in Germany, and he logged four offensive snaps in that contest, gaining one yard on one rush and failing to bring in his only target. The 25-year-old's opportunity in that game came as a result of Clyde Edwards-Helaire sitting out due to an illness. Kansas City is on bye this week, which could give Edwards-Helaire ample time to recover and thus render Perine's services unnecessary for Week 11.

Chiefs' La'Mical Perine: Elevated Saturday
The Chiefs promoted Perine to their active roster Saturday, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.
Perine has spent the majority of the year on Kansas City's practice squad, but with Clyde Edwards-Helaire (illness) missing this Sunday's contest, Perine has been added to the team's active roster. The 25-year-old running back's last in-game action came in 2021, when he recorded 31 rushing yards in four games with the Jets.

La'Mical Perine: Gets practice squad chance
Perine was picked up by the Chiefs' practice squad Wednesday.
Perine was unable to make it through final roster cuts, as he was firmly behind Isiah Pacheco, Jerick McKinnon and Clyde Edwards-Helaire on the running back depth chart. He will now get to continue practicing with the team and working to make an impression on the coaching staff.
